A condensed display sans with pronounced vertical stress and an inline/stencil-like treatment that creates narrow counters and slit apertures inside many strokes. Terminals are largely squared with subtly rounded corners, and bowls are compact, giving letters a tall, poster-ready silhouette. The stroke behavior emphasizes thick verticals and comparatively lighter joins and diagonals, producing a sharp rhythm in words. Curves (C, O, S, a, e) are tightly controlled and slightly squarish, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y, Z) read crisp but remain visually compressed to fit the narrow set width.
Best suited for display settings such as posters, headlines, signage, and branding where the condensed proportions help fit long titles into narrow spaces. It can also work well on packaging or labels when a vintage-industrial voice is desired, especially at medium to large sizes where the inline details remain clear.
The overall tone feels vintage and architectural, with a marquee-like, theatrical punch. The inline cuts add a fabricated, machine-made flavor—somewhere between Art Deco signage and industrial labeling—making the texture feel dramatic and slightly noir.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact word shape with a decorative inline cut that suggests built or engraved lettering. Its consistent vertical emphasis and simplified geometry point to use in attention-grabbing titles rather than extended body text.
Spacing appears intentionally tight and columnar, creating strong vertical striping in text. Several glyphs rely on minimal apertures and compact counters, which boosts impact at larger sizes but can make small-size reading feel dense. Numerals follow the same tall, condensed logic, with simplified shapes that match the headline character of the letters.
